@jearle @mollydotcom should be easy in that case to change the root domain. When the structure changes completely, it’s much harder.

@brightwhite @mollydotcom redirect all 2011 pages: RewriteRule ^/2011/(.*)$ newsite.com/2011/$1 [L,NC,NE,R=301]

@jearle Jared, so I'd add that to .htaccess at root for each year? Or if you have time to just do it, I'll buy ALL the virtual beverages!

@mollydotcom Does your .htaccess look like this?

@jearle That is the .htaccess at the www level, archive.molly is sub to that.

@mollydotcom Quick test. Add this line: RewriteRule ^200(.*)$ archives.molly.com/200$1 [R=301,L]

@mollydotcom hmm, that’s not working.

@jearle Aha! So, at least we know where I lost my grip on it - at the database. :/

@mollydotcom It’s ok, I deal with professional wordpress developers who get that wrong all the time.
